Catching up here (I hope), I really like this shot, very surreal effect, and very effective, and I like the shadow of the unseen tree to the left, very nice.
Reminds me of the 50s, for some subtle reason. Your photo deals in hints and, for me, seems all that more powerful for doing so. The 1-20 is a lens that yields drama. I think I need something similar.
Very dramatic - I love it! It almost looks like a movie set. Where is this? I mean, where do you live?
Edit: I just read some of the other posts and apparently a bunch of other people also think it looks like a movie set. So much for my original idea - haha!
Excellent crop emphasizing that sky. It really gives a dynamic feel to an image which is otherwise anything but. My only nitpick is that the cacti seem a bit soft and could use more bite.
Nothing wrong with odd. That's one of the reasons I sighned up for this 30 day thing. I can post what I like and not worry about votes. Try lots of differant things.
Great shot.
Whooooaaah!!!! I jump on the bandwagon and proclaim awe over that awesome sky and how cool it makes your house look. Oh this is going to be sooooooo much fun!!!!!!!!
I like it very much too. The low pitch of the rooftop - looks midcentury modern. With the opposed upline of the cactus. The sky adds a diagonal line of it's own. GOOD STUFF HERE. I love the BW thing you're doing.
Great shot, very surreal. The shadows really enhance that effect. The clouds are wonderful, was this shot at night?
Suggestions for improvement (IMHO): I'd crop the top down a little more. While the sky is beautiful the house is really the interesting part of the picture. Right now the sky is a bit overpowering.
Good Lord! Apocalyptic. I like the dark tone here and the grain/noise level that lends a film noir feel to this. The low angle creates an extra distortion that also unbalances the viewer - really nice job.
The shadows are a bit perplexing at first until it sinks in that this is shot at night and the shadows are the result of a street lamp, probably located pretty much directly behind the camera's position. Sky be wicked!
Nice minimal composition. Black and white works well for the textures and tones of the image. You must have an lcd monitor? Image appears a bit soft on focus, but I use a crt so it could be just the way our monitors show an image.
wot lisa iamwoman said ...
i was looking at this photograph and couldnt quite put my finger on the feeling i was getting from it .... movie set comes close (probably coz of the shadows of the plants) ... very flat ... and that's not a bad thing ..
its an interesting image, and the shadows of the plants and that amazing sky make it just about surreal ..
